Default Re: Skidz flight training confessions

Hi everyone, skidz here, still working on this instrument thingy
Last night was pretty cool, I filed a flight plan to HDC for couple approaches there, ILS 18 and VOR 18, and back to NEW. Right after take off from NEW we got into a cloud layer and ended up on top of it with no references to the ground, after doing these two approaches we came back to Lakefront (NEW) for GPS 18R. The fog was setting in and I did the whole approach in actual conditions almost down to minimums which was something like 640 ft. It was a nice view to see the runway right where it's supposed to be after coming out of the clouds. Anyway, I must have done like 30+ approaches already and the checkride should be close as soon as I get hot on the dreaded faa exam part.
uh....forgot to mention, the approaches were done partial panel
